JAZMINE JUAREZ - BA, MSW, RYT

REGISTERED SOCIAL WORKER & MIND-BODY COACH

I have 17 years of counselling experience working with individuals, couples and families. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, and thereby understand the importance of adapting to and being flexible with individuals from varying ages and backgrounds; being empathetic and respectful of the unique needs and situations of each individual; and working collaboratively with individuals and couples to support and assist them in their effort to move towards optimal wellness.

I take a holistic and integrative approach to therapy that draws from Internal Family Systems Therapy; Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Polyvagal Theory for individuals and couples; as well as, Psychodynamic Therapy; Adler Coaching Model; Somatic Psychotherapy; and Yoga + Mindfulness practices.

In working towards work life balance, I found that yoga and mindfulness practices helped in different areas of my own life. With such love for yoga, I decided to get yoga teacher training in 2014 as a way to incorporate it further personally as well as professionally. I find it beneficial to include yoga and mindfulness as part of the therapeutic wellness plan for many of my clients.
